Default 928 GTS reviewed by Tiff 5th gear

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylV1nScZhtQ
Older video, very brief commentary of a 93 928 GTS. Fifth Gear is a show that is very similar to Top Gear, and Tiff tends to be a more unbiased, honest reviewer (in my opinion). Anyway it made me proud to have a Porsche... or at least have it waiting for me when I get back home
Enjoy!

Alright well I watch too much top gear on that website, but today I found another 928 on Top Gear. Not on purpose. They are rolling a car to try to get a record and at 3:25 (I think it was, right after the firetruck shot) you can see a silver OB VERY clearly. Maybe not a full review, but it's still a 928 on the screen :-P

That's a great feature clip. I saw that years back, and have saved it as one of my favorites (next to the Yellow Bird flying around the Nuremburg Ring like a bat out of hell). It's a neat story, with a happy ending.

Possibly Richard 'The Hamster' Hammonds own personal 928

Thanks for sharing Simon,

Tiff has good taste I must say

I see that you have a taste for MG:s as well, I have one as well since many Years. (MG-Midget MK11 from 1966)

Has Fifth Gear improved recently? From what I've seen, the only similarity is that they both feature cars I either can't afford or can't purchase. Top Gear is actually entertaining, while Fifth Gear is just straight ahead car reviews, which I find pretty tedious.

As a reviewer.. a true reviewer.. Tiff is second to none.. he calls it like he sees it.. and he has no problems letting people know of a vehicles weaknesses while at the same time isn't afraid to reccomend a car even with faults...

BUT... pure fun.. pure laugh and sheer entertainment Top Gear is the show. The chemestry between Clarkson, Hamster and Dr. Slow is great.. they work well together. Plus what show can you think of where the hosts burn down their own caravan and their neighbors and simply laugh it off..

I like both shows. Sometimes I'm in the mood for Top, and sometimes for Fifth.

Top Gear is a bit too chatty at times. I like the hard driving Sheila on Fifth, and Tiff can really drive.

Silver OB is possibly one that they used as comparison to Ford Sierra XR3i while interviewing Sierra's designer. I believe its oldest RHD in UK.
